I know there are some people who have mentioned in-game that they would like a way to revert faethorn to sylvan woods.
I was wondering what people might think of a quest that rewards you with an item (like the scepter of maeve or something) this would allow you to remove forest/wyrd however... you could only remove the terrain of your guild and at the same cost of casting it in the first place.
The item would be limited to only a small ammount of charges, I liked the idea mainly because if done by say Glomdoring with the current status it wouldn't be an aggressive action but the commune willingly releasing their influence over faethorn allowing it to become truly neutral even though it's alligned to them.
Serenwilde would still be able to remove all the wyrd but it would cost twice as much power (perhaps having any foresting eat a charge on the scepter)

The more interesting point would be that communes would be able to still forest the place, but if they do the other commune could hold it over them unless done in the defense of faethorn from raiders or whatevera.
It also won't be a full purge that could be done just to annoy. If the item had only 20 charges and you wanted to remove all of the oppositions terrain you would have to do the quest something like 8 times (yeah no idea exactly how many rooms there are, but foresting all of it required well over 60 power)



Ok put it through the shredder

Or, better yet:

Give mages a way to remove their own terrain type already, duh.

It's not like we haven't been asking since Open Beta or anything.

I actually like that idea, there should be some sort of ability to remove tainted/forested/wyrded land , if we can create such elements , we should also have the power to remove them.

Except that it is possible to revert it to sylvan.

Meld all of Faethorn with the area infront of your archway as the center. Have someone break your center. Poof, all of your melded rooms will dissolve and revert to natural terrain.

At least that's how it used to work.

I think that bug has been fixed.

I'd prefer just a constant terrain... sylvan when faethorn is neutral, serenwilde when its Moon, glomdoring when its Night. If Mages can't break, might as well prevent opposing druids too. Since conflict has been dampened, there's very little point in the continual break/break cycle other than RP, and it wastes so much power on both sides I would imagine.

Edit: It would also be cool if there were a few Wyrded animals that appeared in places like the Oleanvir valley/Grey Moors/Balach Swamp when Faethorn was under Night control too. That would be nifty, to represent the natural world's embracing of the Wyrd.

That bug has long since been fixed.

Right after it caused us to lose Estelbar, in fact, if you remember that.

Of course I remember that but the bug then was that it would erase every room you had forested. I thought the way it was supposed to work would only make your demesne poof.

Right, but not the terrain of your demesne. Just the meldings.

Meh. I'd prefer it poof the terrain you had melded too. Maybe envoy it?

Um, no.

That would be awesome. It'd be nice to have something like that to show how Faethorn reflects Prime, instead of just having Etherwilde and Etherglom.

I'd like that if you mean that if a Hartstone forested faethorn when it's under Serenwildes influence it would be the natural environement. (like flooding water after it's been tainted) (I.e no "ethereal blahblahblah") then when it reverts to neutral the forest is sylvan, if glomdoring takes it the natural environment it wyrden but Serrenwilde could forest though only by changing what is currently faethorns natural state

If it would stop the "Im gonna forest so that you forest and waste power" forestings, great. Theyre annoying to listen to. But..Im probably not understanding whats said anyways.

Basically yes, It would mean that anyone who forests in there is imposing their will on faethorn if there was an event announcing it then whichever commune is in control can have the moral high ground saying that it's Maeves'/Faethorns will to be X forest and that if the other tries to make it Wyrd or Ethereal Forest they are going against Maeve and/or Faethorn

Same as the whole violence in faethorn, it's possible but can be held over the heads of people who go against it.
